Since the controversy surrounding Helldivers 2, Sony has launched multiple titles on PC. However, it appears the company is reintroducing the unpopular regional restrictions for Tokon just ahead of its scheduled August 2, 2026 release. According to Vice, Sony has not yet responded to questions regarding this move.
Sony shifts to fully digital with no physical disc options
Sony recently faced criticism after announcing that it plans to eliminate physical disc support for its PS5 and upcoming PS6 consoles starting in 2028. This decision raised concerns among consumers, as it impacts the ownership and sharing of physical games, along with the ability to resell titles or keep them permanently.
One user posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “This is a terrible business move. Why would you want to give your customers fewer options?” Another chimed in, “And this is the company we’re supposed to trust with our all-digital future? No thanks.”
